Abstract :
The paper reviews recent developments in designing a function integrated track system. Another line of research concerns the integration of specific sensors into the railway superstructure. Such devices could serve a multitude of additional functions. For example, vibration sensors are useful for permanent and continuous infrastructure monitoring, flat spot detection, and earthquake early warning.
